was, for eight years on end, the leading country of origin for international students, China is rapidly
catching up, spending 98,510 last year, which is a 21 percent increase. In China, the shift has been quite
sharp. Last year, China sent 26,275 undergraduates and 57,451 graduate students to the US-compared
with 8,034 undergraduates and 50,976 graduate students five years earlier.
Peggy Blumenthal, executive vice president of the Institute of International Education, said the growing
share of undergraduates would change the face of the Chinese students"presence in the US. "It used to
be that they were all in the graduate science and computer departments, but now, with the one-child
policy, more and more Chinese parents are taking their considerable wealth and investing it in that one
child getting an Amercian college education," she said. "There"s a book getting huge play in China right
now explaining liberal arts (人文) education." The book, A Ture Liberal Arts Education, by three
Chinese undergraduates in American universities, describes the education available at small liberal arts
colleges and the concept of liberal arts, both relatively unknown in China.
" There"s growing disposable (支配) income in China, and not enough good universities to meet the
demand, "Leventhal at the University of Cincinnati said. "And in China, especially, studying in the United
States makes a great difference, because when students get home, they speaking English. "
Although the report tracks only the 2008-09 mumbers, a smaller survey by the institute last month
found that over all, the increase in international students seems to be continuing, with China remaining
strong. Of all the unversities surveyed this fall, 60 percent reported an increase in Chinese college
students, and only 11 percent a decline.
B. 26275
C. 81413
D. 57451
B. graduates
C. postgraduates
D. art students
B. There is much better education for liberal arts in American universities.
C. They have realized the importance of liberal arts as well as science.
D. They are wealthier but can"t find enough good universities in China.
B. most American universities enrolled more Chinese international students
C. the number of Chinese college students fell in American universities
D. more and more Chinese students are sent to the US to learn English

Lowood School
There were about eighty girls in the schoolroom, divided into four classes. The oldest girls were in the fourth class, and the youngest were in the first class. I was in the first class.
All four classes had their lessons in the same large and very cold schoolroom. We had to sit there quietly, not saying a word, until the teachers came into the room together. The lessons-Math, History,French-were not at all interesting, and always followed the same pattern. First, we read some pages in a book and
then our teacher asked us questions. I tried to listen, but I soon got bored .
After four hours, there was a lunch break, and we all went outside. Because it was winter, it was very
cold. Very soon, a bell rang, and lessons started again.
Three weeks passed. One afternoon, the head teacher, whose name was Miss Temple, came into the
schoolroom. Mr. Brocklehurst was with her, and we all stood up as they entered. I stood behind an older
girl because I did not want Mr. Brocklehurst to see me.
Mr. Brocklehurst walked slowly round the room. Everybody was very quiet. I closed my eyes and
wished he would leave. My hands started to shake, and I dropped my book.
Mr. Brocklehurst stopped walking and looked straight at me.
"Ah! The new girl," he said. "Come here, Jane Eyre!" Then he pointed at two of the older girls. "You two girls-put Jane Eyre on that high chair!" he said.
"Look at Jane Eyre, everybody!" Mr. Brocklehurst said. "This child is bad. She will be punished! Miss
Temple! Teachers! Girls Do not talk to this child."
Then he spoke to me again. "Jane Eyre, you must stand on that chair for two hours," he said. "You are a bad girl!"
That evening, as I cried and cried alone, Miss Temple saw me. She came to me and held my hand. She was very kind.
"You are a good pupil, Jane," she said. "And you are not a bad girl. I am your friend."
"Thank you, Miss Temple," I said.

Nowadays in China,parents care about their children’s education more than anything else. They spend a
lot coaching their children in their studies; those who have time or are not able to do it have tutors hired for their children. Many have their children sent to after-class schools. Some others even have tired to improve their living environment. It seems as if a better education is all that parents expect for their children.
The situation can be explained by the following reasons. First of all, the swift development of China’s
economy is calling for more and more skilled and knowledgeable workers and professionals(专业人士). Second, the awareness of today’s parents’ has been growing that success in this world depends more on
skills and knowledge than on anything else. Skills and knowledge means competitiveness(竞争). At last,
with school education becoming more and more expensive, it is natural for parents to expect their children could become somebody or doing something great.
Of course, I’m happy to see much of parents’ attention paid to their children’s education. However, they should not go too far to ignore their children’s abilities and personal qualities. I think the first thing to lean is how to survive and how to be a qualified citizen. if parents can try their best to help children’s characters, it will bring a happy life to their children when they grow up.

enabling them to explore the outside universe al1d conduct many experiments. However, nothing like that
exists for our oceans, and thanks to the high water pressure, ocean researchers are able to explore what
lies undersea for very short periods of time.
They are therefore never able to fully explore the deep inside areas of our oceans. However, if
French architect Jacques Rougerie has his way, that will change soon.
Jacques has designed a ship that will allow researchers to spend a long period of time observing the
sea life and conducting experiments. The huge l67ft. ship, named" SeaOrbiter", consists of two areas-one
above the water where the scientists and crew will live, and a lower pressurized deck (甲板), where
scientists will be able to spend as much time as they wish. Since it is powered by sea currents and wind,
he expects it to drift (漂流) along the oceans slowly, taking about two years to circumvent the globe.
Jacques will make their life as comfortable as possible in the ship. Besides being equipped with the
latest sailing tools and communication equipment, the ship will also have a gym, a television and a DVD
player! And these guys will not be eating freeze-dried food like astronauts. Instead, Jacques, an
accomplished chef, plans on cooking them delicious meals every day.
The biggest problem to this giant ship is the cost, which is expected to be over $500 million-per ship!
However, Jacques, who strongly believes that the secrets of our oceans may be the key to solving global
warming and a vital supply for food and medicine in the future, is confident he will be able to convince
governments all over the world to help out, and expects to start construction on not one, but four or five
of these amazing ships soon!
B. Because it"s too cold in deep ocean.
C. Because time for experiments is too limited.
D. Because it"s dangerous to observe the sea life.
B. get around
C. travel through
D. move into
B. living a comfortable life helps to do the ocean research quickly
C. it"s much more expensive to eat freeze-dried food
D. researchers on Jacques"ship will live more comfortably than astronauts
B. To find supply for medicine in the future.
C. To draw governments" attention to the construction of the ship.
D. To solve the global warming.
B. A new way to explore the deep oceans
C. A great architect-Jacques Rougerie
D. Travel around the globe in Sea Orbiter
Storm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is very dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth”.
1. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to ______.
A. head straight for the center of the storm
B. get into the car for safety
C. wait patiently for the storm to develop
D. collect information about a coming storm
2. Beginners of storm chasing are advised ______.
A. not to drive in a heavy rain
B. to do it in an organized way
C. not to get too close to a storm
D. to spend more time on it in summer
3. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that ______.
A. storm chasing costs a lot of money
B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting for everyone.
C. efforts（努力）in storm chasing are well paid
D. storm chasers can do whatever they like.
4. What can we learn from the text?
A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment.
B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.
C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.
D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.
